race number four.
Karen England
, 2010
Oahe Speedway Coca Cola Street Trophy class champion
Karen England, 2010 Oahe
Speedway Coca Cola Street Trophy champion, began her season
in one Mustang, and finished in another. The car
switch was not by choice, when England tagged the wall early
in the season. Taking a couple weeks to replace the
wounded Mustang, England came back to take the championship,
based on three wins and 3 runner-up finishes. In
recognition of her on track incident in May, England was
awarded the "I Hope Nobody Saw That " award. Duane Soper, of
Gettysburg, placed second in the category, with two wins.
Soper added a "Wally" to his trophy case, with a win in the
2010 National Dragster Challenge Street Trophy race.

to the championship. Morris moved into first
place after race number four, and never relinquished the
lead. Doug Percy, of Winner, took second place, with
consistent finishes, despite not winning any points races.
Percy had great success in the Saturday Shootouts, winning
three races during the season. Ann Hirsch, of Pierre,
won points race number one and garnered two runners-up, the
balance of the season, for third place. In a
very competitive bracket, Hirsch was able to place her '66
Biscayne wagon in the closing rounds on several occasions.
Brian Brady, 2010 100 MPH club champion, finished 3 points
behind Hirsch, taking fourth place. Tyler
Ehlers, moving up from the High School ranks, in 2010, took
fifth place. Ehlers also took a Half Track Attack win
in early July.
Charles "Ninja Charlie" Snyder, 2010 Oahe Speedway Coca Cola
Dakota Motor Sports LLC Bike class champion
2010 Coca Cola Dakota Motor
Sports LLC Bike Champion, Charles "Ninja Charlie" Snyder, of
Belle Fourche, served notice early in the season that he
would be a force to be reckoned with. Winning 6 points
races and taking the 2010 South Dakota Drag Racing State
Bike Championship, Snyder cruised to the championship.
Snyder, 2006 Oahe Speedway Bike champion, also took the Bike
title at Sturgis Dragway this season.
Chris Boom, of Pierre, the 2007 and 2008 Bike champion won
two points races along with two runners-up finishes.
Boom survived six rounds of competition, to take the
National Open No Box Shootout, on September 25.
Shawn England, of Pierre, went rounds on most every
weekend, to accumulate third place points in 2010.
Randy Nixon,
2010 Oahe Speedway Coca Cola Pro ET class champion
Pro ET 2010 Coca Cola champion,
Randy Nixon, rode his Yamaha drag bike to the title in a
class normally populated conventional race cars and trucks.
The cagey veteran, of many years in the sport, took the rock
home with two wins, three runners-up and only one first
round loss all summer. Nixon also won the 2010
National Dragster Challenge Bike "Wally". Along the
way, Nixon collected two perfect lights during the season.
Larry Iversen, of Pierre, missing one points race during the
season, could have taken the championship away from Nixon.
By missing a key race, Iversen actually lost the 2010
championship by 97 points, the bonus of 100 points for
perfect attendance tilting the win to Nixon. Iversen
garnered 3 wins and a runner up finish in race nine.
Once again, Iversen was a consistent performer, losing only
once in the first round. In a class where it was
common to have to go five and six rounds for the win,
both Iversen and Nixon stayed in the hunt until the final
race of the season. Darcy Madsen, of Rapid City,
coming off a third finish in 2009, remained in the same
position, for 2010. Madsen closed out the 2010 season
with two wins. Tommy Dale Vines, of Eagle Butte, won a
points race on his way to a fourth place finish. Vines
finished in the runner up position in 2009.
Jason Ehlers, of Pierre, ended the season in fifth place,
winning points race number 5 on July 4th. Ehlers, 2005
Inaugural Pro ET champion, consistently went rounds, to take
the top five position.
Curt Humann,
2010 Oahe Speedway Coca Cola Super Pro class champion
Curt Humann, of Pierre, took
the 2010 Coca Cola Super Pro points championship in
convincing fashion. With four wins and two semifinal
finishes, Humann dominated the class. Along the way he
gathered three Saturday Shootouts,. non points races, but
still good practice for a Sunday win.
Humann also won his first Aerospace Components King
off the Track "Wally", in mid May.
As the track Super pro Champion, Humann qualified for the
Race of Champions at the 2010 Division 5 ET Finals, at
Topeka. Humann faced a tough 19 car field, taking a
runner up finish. David Rae, of Gillette, WY,
placed second, just over 9 round wins behind Humann.
Rae, a regular competitor at Oahe Speedway, won one points
race and had two runners up finishes. Rae
experimented with a couple different motor combinations
during the 2010 season. Dale Garber, of Pierre,
while not winning a points race in 2010, still finished in
third place. Garber had a fairy tale season, winging
two "Wally's" this past summer. He won the
National Dragster Challenge in July and took the Super Pro
title during the South Dakota Drag Racing State
Championships, in August. Garber saved his best
performances for the National Open weekend, winning four
races, in four different classes,
the Kroeplin Ag Box Shootout
and Dave's' Scrap Metal Super Group Shootout on September
25th and turning right around and winning the NHRA Super
Comp title and Oahe Speedway's Super Pro class on the 26th.

moved to Super Pro for the 2009 season, hit his stride in
2010, placing fourth in points. Bryant Fuchs, of
Bowman, ND, closed our the 2010 season in fifth place, 99
points behind Standiford. Fuchs, running the family
rear engine dragster, shares pit space with his sister's two
junior dragsters, and Dad's Wild Bunch big block, blown
Camaro. Mom Mary can be found running the
dragster in most Saturday Shootouts.

Fall Finale Weekend
Results
October 9-10, 2010
Saturday, October 9
Saturday morning's showers,
while brief, still caused a two hour delay in the start of
the final races of the 2010 season, at Oahe Speedway.
As the clouds disappeared, some of the best racing of the
season ensued. 168 racers signed in the back gate, to
compete in the Becky Hopf Memorial Race, a race organized to
remember Becky Hopf, who lost her life in an automobile
accident in mid July.
Box Shootout finals paired Greg
Thompson, of Bruce and Dustin Long, of Mitchell.
Thompson utilized a wicked
quick .005 reaction time to outrun Long for the title.
Number one qualifier, Rick Meier, of Rapid City, broke out
in the first round against Thompson. Long recorded the
fastest speed of eliminations, 183.59, against Thompson, in
the finals. Of special note, Dale Garber, of
Pierre, turned up the wick, in test and tune, clocking a
7.061 run, at 191.48 MPH, easily the quickest run of the
weekend.
No Box Shootout winner, Brandon
Dunachek, of Mission Hill, defeated Paul Berger, of Pierre,
in the finals. Both drivers had survived six rounds of
competition, prior to meeting in the finals. Round one
began with 67 cars making the first call. Number one
qualifier, Travis Falcon ran right on his 12.09 dial
in during his first round bye. Falcon would go on to
lose in the third round.
Doug Percy, of Winner, took the
Trophy Shootout title, over Jerrad Hopper, of Huron.
Percy, with the better reaction time, took the win at the
stripe when Hopper broke out.
Number one qualifier, Jamie
Durham, of Watertown, finished his day in the third
round, losing to Hopper.
Carly Ellingson, of Rapid City,
defeated number one qualifier, Austin Mohr, of Mitchell, in
the final. Ellingson, capitalizing on a better
reaction time, drove around Mohr, for the win.
The third annual Gator's 100
MPH Challenge, was won by Brian Brady, of Pierre. The
class is made up of competitors from Sportsman, Bike,
Street Trophy, and High School classes. Each entrant must
have run at least 100 MPH during selected qualifying days,
throughout the 2010 season. A total of 72 drivers
qualified for the 2010 runoff. Brady, a Sportsman class
driver, squared off with Alan Vetter, Street Trophy
competitor, of Gettysburg, with Brady taking the win
when Vetter broke out.
The Final race of the day, the
Becky Hopf Memorial Challenge, matched up Box Winner, Greg
Thompson, and No Box Champ, Brandon Dunachek.
Thompson broke out by .002 seconds at the finish line,
giving Dunachek the final win of the day.
The entire Hopf family and Oahe
Speedway thank all the racers and fans who gathered to honor
Becky.
Fall Finale
Sunday, October 10
Oahe Speedway's 2010 season
closed out on a warm, sunny fall day on Sunday. In the
five previous closing weekends, the speedway has never had
two nicer closing days.
Number one and two finishers in
the 2010 Coca Cola Super Pro points race met in the season's
Fall Finale, with David Rae, of Gillette, WY, getting the
best of Curt Humann, of Pierre. Humann, the 2010
champion, red lit his chances away, in the final.
Justin Roetman, of Vermillion, qualified number one,
and lasted until round two, meeting up with Gary Buer, of
Lake Preston. Buer got the best of Roetman,
advancing to the semifinals before losing to Humann.
Garber, once again, posted the fastest speed of
eliminations, 182.70 MPH. No to be outdone, Joe
Wolf of
Pierre, made the final
test and tune pass of the day a good one. Driving his
newly acquired, former Dustin Long RED, Wolf pushed the top
speed of the day to 183.48 MPH. Long won the
Super Comp title at the NHRA O'Reilly Auto Parts
Nationals at Topeka, KS,
earlier this summer, in this car. Wolf downplayed the
feat, saying "it didn't feel much different than my old
car", but with a grin pondered, "wonder how fast it will go
with a little nitrous". Time will tell.
In another huge field, 43 Pro
cars made first call, and after 5 rounds, Randy Compson, of
Valley City, ND, and Carl Stickney, of Watertown, paired off
for the final. Compson watched Stickney's '72 Maverick
draw the red bulb, at the starting line.
Completing a trifecta in the
2010 season, Compson won three races at Oahe Speedway in
three different Mopars. He started the month of
September , with a win in his immaculate '68 Barracuda,
followed up three weeks later, winning with his '68 Dodge
Dart, and closing out the trifecta with a win in another
Mopar from the Compson stable, a '73 Plymouth Duster.
In all, four Compson family members competed over the
weekend. Randy's cousins, Marty, of Pierre, Greg and
Chris, of Sioux, all driving Mopars, were at the track.
Number one qualifier, with a perfect light, Chris Huse, of
Onida, lost to Mike Verba, of Sioux Falls, in round three.
Bike class finals paired Brian
Wilkening, of Buffalo, WY, and Don Gurnon, of Huron, with
Wilkening emerging victorious. Gurnon fouled away his
chance at the win on the staring line. Rodney Hopf, of
Ramona, aboard a newly acquired '08 Yamaha drag bike,
qualified number one. Hopf would lose to Troy
Behlings, of Volga, on a break at the finish line.
Behlings went red in the semis, advancing Gurnon to the
final.
Sportsman winner, Doug Percy,
of Winner, doubled up on the weekend, defeating James
Morris, of Pierre, In the final. Morris, 2010
Coca Cola BankWest Junior Dragster champion, driving brother
Carl's, 2010 Sportsman Class Championship winning '71
Cheyenne, was unable to hold off the hard charging Percy.
Morris has completed his Junior Dragster career, with four
championships in class.
Brandon Campbell, of Pierre,
defeated Jeff Otto, of Watertown, in the Street Trophy
final. Otto, driving a Wieand blower driven, small
block '68 Pontiac GTO, broke out by .003 seconds at the
finish line. Campbell had qualified number one.
Austin Mohr, avenged his
Saturday loss to Carly Ellingson, in the Junior Dragster
final. Ellingson pushed just a bit too hard, in
an attempt to catch Mohr, breaking out by just .003 seconds
at the finish line. Number one qualifier, Stacey Hopf,
of Madison, lost to Ellingson, in round one.
Oahe Speedway Half Track
Attack, an 1/8th mile competition, was won by Dallas
Woertink, of Watertown. Woertink defeated David Gloe,
of Strandburg, SD, in the final.
Fort Pierre Junior Dragster
Minor class racers, Cody Ryckman and Kimberlee Geuther, ran
off the final, with Ryckman running closer to her dial in,
to take the win.
Geuther qualified number one in
class.
On a beautiful, sunny autumn
day, Oahe Speedway closed out its sixth year of operation.
As we look forward to the 2011 season, track owner, Milton
Morris, and the entire Oahe Speedway staff thank all the
racers and fans for a safe and competitive season at the
"Dam Fast Track" . The speedway hosted racers from
South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Florida, Virginia, and the
Canadian Provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Les Feist, of Clearwater, MN, pushed our
Top Speed to 203.02 MPH,
in July. Our first annual "Junior Jam" and our
"Old Skool Drags" were a success, and we look forward to
planning the 2011 season.
Stay tuned, it's gonna be
big!!

title with a win over Rick Ryan., of Aberdeen. Hieb,
driving his immaculate E/SA '98 Firebird, took the stripe .
002 seconds ahead of Ryan,
a calculated distance of 4.061
inches. Number one qualifier, Gene Bichelmeier, of
Norfolk, NE, withdrew from competition, in favor of a tear
down, to verify a new GT/I national record run.
Bichelmeier unofficially set the record with a 10.117 second
pass
in qualifying. Wayne Denklau, of Wayne NE,
also set an unofficial record in SS/K , at 10.408 seconds.
Both records were set at an adjusted 1700' altitude, and
should be certified by mid week.
In his third victory of the
weekend, Dale Garber topped all challengers in his '03
Worthy dragster. Donna Patterson, of Lorette, MB,
Canada, tossed the win to Garber at the starting line. Patterson, .016 too quick at the green, would have been
challenged by Garber's superb.004 reaction time.
Saving his worst ET for the final, Garber ran 9.025 on his
9.00 dial in. Patterson's 9.124 was her slowest run of the
day. Dustin Long, of Mitchell, had a
perfect reaction time, in qualifying, to take the number one
spot. Long would red light against Garber in the
semis.
Randy Nygaard, of Watertown,
and Lance Trujillo, of Gillette, WY paired up in the Super
Gas final, with Nygaard taking the win at the starting line.
Trujillo was a bit over anxious, drawing the red bulb by
.006 seconds, negating his number one qualifying effort.
The Super Street final came
down to Dennis McBride, of Ainsworth, NE, and Jeff Crooks,
of Brandon, MB. McBride pulled off a great .013 light,
and paired it with run just .001 off his 11.00 dial
in. Crooks had trouble at the starting line, and was
not a factor.
Adding to his winners share,
Dale Garber finished off the weekend with another win in
Super Pro. Garber met Bryant Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, in
the final. Fuchs snared a super quick .004 light at
the start, but lost the race at the finish line, breaking
out by a greater margin than Garber. Garber ran .007 under
his 9.00 dial in, with Fuchs breaking out by .036 seconds.
Another first time visitor, Tim Thielen, of Sheridan, WY,
was the number one qualifier, with a perfect light.
Joe Harry, of Ferney, won
Pro ET, on Sunday over Cal Belden, of Aberdeen. Belden
fouled away his chances at the starting line, red lighting
by .050 seconds. Jim Erickson, of Ortonville, MN, qualified
number one and lasted until the second round.
Jeri Vines, of Eagle Butte,
prevailed over a 26 car Sportsman field to take home the
trophy. Darcy Hagberg, of Spencer, NE, broke out in
the final against Vines. Hagberg, qualified in the
middle of the field, dispatched number one qualifier, Jim
Hoff, of Bismarck, ND, in round one.
Don Gurnon, of Huron, defeated
2010 Coca Cola/Dakota Motor Sports LLC Bike class champion,
Charles Snyder, of Belle Fourche, in the final. In the
double breakout final, Gurnon ran closer to his dial.
Scott Vockell, of Jacksonville,
FL, turned back 2010 Coca Cola Street Trophy class champion,
Karen England, to take the win. Vockell, on temporary
work assignment, has been a frequent visitor to Oahe
Speedway this summer. Vockell is a regular competitor
at Gainesville Raceway
in Gainesville, FL.
Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND,
2009 Coca Cola BankWest Junior Dragster class co-champion,
met up with number one
qualifier, Stacey Hopf, of Madison, in the Junior Major
final. Hopf, hoping to double up for the weekend,
broke out against Fuchs at the finish line. Fuchs,
winding down her successful Jr Dragster racing career, will
graduate to a door car in 2011.
Tanner Wiese, of Luverne, MN,
took his first victory , at Oahe Speedway, defeating
Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort Pierre, in the Junior Minor
final. Geuther took out number one qualifier
and
brother, Jonathan Geuther, in the semis.

of Pierre, in the Creative Cuts/Truck n Carwash Box Shootout
final. Humann covered the field, from the number one
qualifying slot, all the way to the final.
Creative Cuts/Truck n Carwash
No Box Shootout saw Stan "Butch" Monson, of

classic Ford vs. Chevy battle. Hirsch handed
the win to Monson, at the starting line, fouling
away his chance at the big check. Travis
Falcon, of Pierre, number one qualifier, lost to Ann
Hirsch, of Pierre, in the second round.
Monson, running an immaculate '69 Mustang, sent Ann
Hirsch to the trailer, in the quarterfinals.
Mike Haraldson, of Pierre,
topped a 22-car Trophy
Shootout field, defeating
Jon Dallman, of Aberdeen, in
the final. Brian
Brady, of Pierre, met up
with number one qualifier,

a better reaction time to
turn back Percy.
Dallman showed Brady a
better reaction time in
round two, taking the win.
Kimberlee Geuther, of Fort
Pierre, and Carly
Ellingson, of Rapid City met
in the Creative Cuts/Truck n
Carwash Junior Shootout
final, with Geuther taking
the win. Ashley Holm,
number one qualifier, drew
the red bulb, in round one,
against Jonathan Geuther.
Ellingson would use a great
.009 reaction time to defeat
Jonathan in the second
round.
Nostalgia Pro One paired Jon
Kostelecky , of Dickinson,
ND , and Ray Fuchs, of
Bowman, ND, in a best of
three match.
Kostelecky won all three

defeated Schershligt in
round three.
Bill Sepannen, of Watertown,
brought his "Best

prepared race car.
Coca Cola Points Race #8
Saturday, August 21, 2010
Joe Wolf, of Pierre, qualified number one and took
Coca Cola Super Pro Points Race #8, by virtue of
starting line performance. Wolf qualified with a
superb .005 reaction time, pulled off a respectable .030
light in round one, and then got serious in round two and
the final. Lightning quick .003's in those rounds,
sent Ken Standiford, of Midland, and Dale Garber, of
Pierre, to the trailer.
Coca Cola Pro final action came down to Paul Berger,
of Pierre, and Bill Bogner, of Belled Fourche, with Berger
taking the win. In the double break out final, Berger
hit the finish line closer to his dial in. Stan
"Butch" Monson, of Groton, defending Pro Class
Champion, qualifying number one, lost in round one.
Chris Boom, of Pierre, returned to the Coca Cola Dakota
Motor Sports LLC Bike winners circle on Sunday. The past

in the final. Snyder, in his loss, has virtually

win. Brian Brady, of Pierre, fell victim to Vetter's
'75 Mustang , in the final.

season points count with her win over Ron Winterberg, of
Timber lake. Winterberg, 2009 Street Trophy Champion,
qualified number one.

continued the trend of the day, "qualify number one, and win
it all". With a bit of help from Matt Bogner's red
light , in the final, Holm became the 5th number one
qualifier of the day to take the top spot in their
respective class.

and carried that momentum all the way to the BankWest Junior
Major title. Morris took the win, when Carly
Ellingson, of Rapid City, broke out at the finish line.
Jonathan Huse, of Onida, took another win, in Oahe Speedway
Junior Minor
competition, defeating Noah Miller, of Fort Pierre.

Super Gas Field
at
Lucas Oil Nationals
Lance Trujillo, Super Gas Champion
Lucas Oil Nationals
(Motor Race Images)
Sunday, Aug 15, 2010
From an out of the box test run, on his newly acquired '63
Corvette Super gas roadster, to Super Gas champion, at the
recently completed NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals, Lance Trujillo
has been on a roller coaster ride.
Trujillo, of Gillette, WY, and a regular competitor at Oahe
Speedway, brought the Corvette to Oahe on July 3rd, for
testing. In only his second run, he was able to push
the roadster to 9.873 seconds, at 155.49 MPH.
The following weekend, Trujillo travelled to Seattle, to
compete in the NHRA Northwest Nationals, qualifying fifth,
in the 50 car field. The race weekend was over for
Trujillo, following a red light start in the second round.
Now the story gets interesting. Following Seattle,
during a stop at Douglas
Motorsports Park, in WY, a run in with an antelope, at
150MPH, almost ended this tale. The altercation left
Trujillo without a National Dragster Challenge Super Pro
Wally, and a wounded left front quarter panel on the
Corvette.
Trujillo hit the road the following weekend, for the Mile
High Nationals, at Denver. Quick repairs to the Corvette,
and an early round loss, gave him time to regroup and catch
his breath.
Next up, Cordova Dragway, and a Lucas Oil Division 5 tour
stop, should have been a quick I-80 commute across Nebraska
and Iowa. The trip was uneventful until the last 60
miles. A blown left front tire on the toter and a
visit to the ditch, created some anxious moments.
Despite the potential for disaster, the wreck bruised the
toter, but did not end up in a rollover.
A long tow into Cordova ended another day on the road.
Upon closer inspection, the Corvette survived the wild ride,
but the Super Comp rear engine dragster did not.
Dustin Long, of Mitchell, was able to put the dragster back
together. Despite the thrash, neither car made it to
the winners circle, at Cordova.
On to Brainerd, for the Lucas Oil Nationals, this past
weekend. Surviving seven rounds of Super Gas
competition, Trujillo took his first National event Wally.
An eventful six week journey paid off on Sunday afternoon.

2010
Coca Cola Points Race #7
Sunday, August 8, 2010
Points Race #7 is in the books at Oahe Speedway.
A two hour rain delay, following qualifying, did nothing
to dampen the competitive spirit in any of the
classes.
Pat Conlin, of Fairview, MT, making his first 2010
appearance at Oahe Speedway, took his '67 Camaro to
victory over Doug Legner, of Pierre.
Conlin paired a better reaction time and a 10.113
run, just .003 over his dial in, to take the
victory. Legner turned back number one
qualifier, Terry Henrikson, of Rapid City, in the
semifinals. Conlin had to get around Doug'
Legner's spouse, Bobi, in the other semifinal
pairing.
Current 2010 Coca Cola Super Pro points leader, Curt
Humann, of Pierre, lost in round two, to
Henriksen.
Tommy Dale Vines,
of Eagle Butte, took the Pro title over Randy
Nixon, of Huron. Nixon fouled at the starting
line, giving the number one qualifying Vines, the
win. Nixon was the only bike rider in the 22
car field.
Former Oahe Speedway
High School Champion, Carl Morris, drove his '71
Cheyenne pickup to the Sportsman class victory over
Sonnie Boke, of Gettysburg. Boke, driving dad
Steve's Firebird, for the 2010 season, was unable to
catch the first leaving Morris, in the final.
Ann Hirsch, of Pierre, number one qualifier,
drew the red bulb against Morris in the semis.
Bike finals came down
to two West River rivals, Charles Snyder, of Belle
Fourche, and Rob Klinger, of Rapid City.
Klinger, running Snyder's latest acquisition, an '08
Kawasaki ZX14 Ninja, was very late off the tree and
could not make up the
difference in the final. Snyder has
taken a commanding lead in the 2010 Coca Cola Dakota
Motor Sports LLC bike class, and has virtually
locked up the championship, with only three points
races remaining. Klinger made several passes
on the '08 Ninja, in an attempt to take the class
record, falling only 1.28 MPH behind, long time
record holder, Wade Johnson's 158.89MPH.
Johnson, of Rapid City, set the record in
2007.
Joe McCarthy, of
Newport NE, won the Street Trophy class, over Karen
England, of Pierre. Past Champion Ron
Winterberg, of Timber Lake,
qualified number one,
broke out against England, in the first round.
Jason Standiford, of
Midland SD, returned to Oahe Speedway, after a long
absence. Standiford, a 4 year active US Navy
E-5, ships out to Iraq this week. Jason, doing
his job to protect our freedom, was recognized
during the racer's meeting.
Snap On High School
winner, Matt Bogner, defeated Nick Wright, of
Gettysburg. Wright and number one qualifier,
Toni Vetter, of Gettysburg,
met in the second
round, with Wright running closer to his dial in, to
take the win.
BankWest Junior
Dragster Major class winner, James Morris, of
Pierre, continued his winning ways. Morris,
coming off a big win three weeks ago,
in the 1st Annual
Junior Jam, defeated Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, in
the final. Morris was the number one
qualifier, with a perfect light. Morris
has three perfect lights for the 2010 season, and
leads the Motor Race Images Perfect Light
competition. Fuchs won the South Dakota Drag
Racing State Junior
Dragster Championship, on Saturday.
Cody Ryckman, of Fort
Pierre, emerged as the winner in the Oahe Speedway
Junior Dragster Minor class, defeating Jonathan
Huse, of Onida. Huse qualifying number one,
fouled at the starting line, in the final.

The, first ever, South Dakota National Hot Rod
Association Drag Racing State Championships were
contested at Oahe Speedway last Saturday. A
new program, created by NHRA, crowned state
champions in Super Pro, Pro, Bike, Sportsman, and
Junior Dragster classes. The High School
champion will be determined on Saturday, September,
4.
Dale Garber, of Pierre, fresh off a National
Dragster Challenge Super Pro win, two weeks ago,
took the Super Pro championship, over David Rae, of
Gillette, WY. In the double break-out final.
Garber pulled off a great .007 reaction time, and
coupled that with a closer to dial in run, to take
the win. Rae dispatched number one qualifier,
Eric Gietzen, of Bismarck, ND, in the second round.
Bill Bogner, of Belle Fourche, normally races in
NHRA's J/SA Stock class, made his latest visit
to Oahe Speedway a good one. Bogner, took the
Pro class championship, when Cal Belden, of
Aberdeen, fouled away his chances at the starting
line. Bogner was first to leave, on his higher dial
in, forcing Belden to wait on the starting line.
Belden was a bit too anxious while waiting for the
green, drawing the red bulb by .030 seconds.
Tommy Dale Vines, of Eagle Butte, number one
qualifier, fell to Bogner in the semifinals.
Scott Vockell, of Jacksonville, FL, nearly
became the first South Dakota State Champion
in the Sportsman Class. Vockell, running a
2010 Nissan Versa, lost in a breakout run, against
Roger Anderson, of Edgeley, ND. Anderson, a
frequent visitor, plowed through the 23 car field,
to take the South Dakota Championship, back to North
Dakota. Fellow North Dakotan, David Wyum, of
West Fargo, took the number one qualifying spot,
losing to Anderson, in the quarterfinals. Wyum
lost fire, in his '79 Cutlass, on the starting line,
and had to helplessly watch Anderson run to victory.
Number one qualifier, Charles Snyder, of Belle
Fourche, took the Bike championship away from Randy
Nixon, of Huron. While both riders ran
identical ET's, Nixon broke out at the stripe.
Snyder, on a tear, at Oahe Speedway in 2010, took
home his 4th win in a row.
Junior Dragster Major and Minor eliminations were
run to conclusion, with the two class winners facing
off in the Junior Dragster championship final.
Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, and Ashley Holm, of
Pierre, met in the
Major
class finals, with Fuchs winning that match.
Holm and Fuchs are defending 2009 Oahe Speedway
Junior Dragster Class co-champions.
Fuchs defeated James Morris, number one qualifier,
in the semifinals.
Junior Dragster Minor class finals paired up Miranda
Vines, of Eagle Butte, and Jonathan Huse, of Onida.
Vines, in her rookie year, could not hold off the
hard charging Huse , in the final. Sean
Conlin, of Fairview, MT, took
out number one qualifier, Jonathan Geuther, of Fort
Pierre, in round one. Conlin would later meet
up with Huse, in the semifinals.
Fuchs, and Huse met in the finals of the South
Dakota State Junior
Dragster
Championship, with Fuchs taking the win and the
South Dakota trophy back to North Dakota.

South Dakota Drag Racing
Championships
coming to
Oahe
Speedway
Aug 7, 2010
July 26, 2010
The first annual NHRA South
Dakota Drag Racing State
Championships
will be contested at Oahe
speedway, on August 7, 2010.
The competition will include
Super Pro, Pro ET, Bike,
Sportsman and Junior Drag
Racing League classes.
Although the race is billed
as the South Dakota Drag
Racing State
Championships, all
competitors, regardless of
residence, are invited
to attend. The
Speedway looks forward to
hosting race teams from all
over the Midwest and beyond.
NHRA has created special
plaques honoring the State
Champions
in Super Pro, Pro, Bike,
Sportsman, and Junior
Dragster classes.
The newly crafted plaques
will feature the state
outline, special engraved
class plates and a
recreation of the famed
"Wally" championship
trophy.
The
National Hot Rod Association
announced the formation of the NHRA
State Championships, a special-event
program for its member tracks and E.T. bracket racers beginning in the
2010 season. With member tracks
across the country as well as in
Canada and Puerto Rico, the program
will recognize and award grassroots
racers with a unique, specially
designed NHRA State Championships
Wally plaque.
Much
like state high school athletic
associations that conduct state
championships in school sporting
events, NHRA will designate and
recognize one annual event per state
that boasts NHRA member tracks as
the official NHRA Drag Racing State
Championships.
E.T.
bracket categories that are part of
the NHRA Summit Racing Series and a
Jr. Dragster class contested in the
state and NHRA geographic division
will receive official NHRA State
Championships designation.
The new program joins NHRA’s
National DRAGSTER Challenge,
NHRA Aerospace Components King of
the Track, and NHRA Jr. Drag Racing
League Challenge lineup of special
events.

Results
Les
Feist, Clearwater, MN
Sunday, July 18, 2010
The long wait is
finally over. The top speed record at Oahe
Speedway jumped over the 200 MPH mark on Sunday.
Les Feist, of Clearwater, MN,
pushed his '04 Worthy
rear engine dragster to 203.02 MPH, in the quarter
mile. Feist had been the current record
holder, at 199.86, set almost two years ago.
The Minnesota driver almost eclipsed the record in
the first round of Midwest Wild Bunch competition,
clocking a 199.07 MPH pass.
Feist's immaculate
dragster is powered by a 706 CI big block Chevy.
In Sunday's Midwest Wild Bunch final round,
Lucas Milnar, of Winnipeg, MB, CAN, defeated fellow
Canadian, Fred Dobslaw, of Dugald, MB.
Dobslaw left first on the slower dial in, with
Milnar pulling off great .004 reaction time, to
follow. Dobslaw suffered mechanical
difficulties near half track and watched Milnar
speed past for the win. Dobslaw had
beaten new Oahe Speedway speed record holder, Les
Feist, in the second round. Milnar dispatched
Oahe Speedway regular and Midwest Wild Bunch runner,
Ray Fuchs, of Bowman, ND, in the quarterfinals.
2010 National Dragster Challenge
Results
July 18, 2010
The 2010
National Dragster Challenge was run in conjunction
with the Junior Jam and Midwest Wild Bunch programs
on Sunday.
Winners in
their respective Oahe Speedway classes are awarded
replicas of the National Hot Rod Association's
official "Wally" trophy. The highly prized
trophies are named in honor of the late Wally Parks,
founder of the NHRA.
Dale
Garber, of Pierre took top honors, pole to pole on
Sunday. Garber qualified number one, defeating
Craig Johnson, of Luverne, MN, in the final.
Johnson was driving a former Sean Billet '99 Mullis
RED. Johnson was a bit overanxious at the
start, red lighting by .008 seconds.
Roland Rang, of Sioux Falls, and Curt Humann, of
Pierre, scored identical .001 reaction times, in the
first round of qualifying. The feat is even
more unique, in the fact they were running
each other in that round of qualifying. The
thrill of co-qualifying number one was short lived,
as Dale Garber pulled off a perfect light, in round
two, taking the number one spot.
Pro class
winner, Jim Hunsley, of Rapid City, driving Darcy
Madsen's '69 Mustang, took the 'Wally' from Roger
Hanson, of Pierre. Hunsley left first, on the
slower dial, with Hanson attempting to play catch
up. Hanson's slower reaction time was the
difference at the stripe. Cal Belden, of
Aberdeen, took out number one qualifier, Tyler
Phillips, of Owanka, in round tw0, only to meet
Hanson in the quarterfinals. Hanson took that
win with a quicker
reaction
time.
Randy
Nixon, of Huron, won the Bike finals when Rob
Klinger, of Rapid City, fouled at the starting line.
Nixon, current Coca Cola Pro Points leader,
making a rare appearance in the Bike class, was the
number one qualifier.
For sure
there was going to be a Winner "Wally" winner in the
Sportsman final. Fellow Winner, SD, residents and
Grossenberg co-workers, Doug Percy and Charlie
Bennett, ran a double break out final. Bennett
scored the closer to dial in run at the stripe.
Bennett turned back number one qualifier, Jon
Dallman, of Aberdeen, in the semifinals. Percy
had defeated the last non-GM vehicle, John
McLaughlin's '70 Road Runner, in the second round.
Duane
Soper. of Gettysburg, took the Street Trophy
"Wally', over Karen England, of Pierre. Soper
defeated '06 and '09 National Dragster Challenge
Street Trophy winner, Bert Bogner, of Oral, in the
second round. Bogner qualified number one.
Current
Coca Cola High School Points leader, Taryn Colson,
of Blunt, now has a "Wally" to match sister Alyssa's
'09 NDC Sportsman trophy.
Colson
defeated Stephanie Holm, of Pierre, in the final.
Number one qualifier, Toni Vetter, broke out against
Holm in the semis.
Junior
Dragster Major and Minor classes will meet on
September 4, for
the Junior

Weekend Results
May 1-2, 2010
Monday, May
3, 2010
Weather played a big part in Oahe Speedway's racing this
past weekend.
Saturday's racing program was cancelled due to high wind
conditions and cooler temperatures The National Hot
Rod Diesel Association was scheduled, along with the Cowboy
Country Store Shootouts. The Shootouts will be
rescheduled for later in the season. It is unfortunate
that the NHRDA will not be able to return to Oahe Speedway,
in 2010. Chris Winans, National Race Director, has indicated
that they liked what they saw on their first visit, and will
return to Oahe in 2011.
Sunday dawned as a very cool, breezy day. Start of
qualifying for the first Coca Cola Points races
of the 2010 season, was delayed until 11am. The
delayed start was agreed upon at a drivers meeting, in the
hope that the racing surface might warm a bit.
When qualifying got underway, the Super Pro racers in
attendance felt that the temperatures were not conducive for
safe racing of their high powered cars. It was
determined, among those signed in for the day, that they
would wait until May 15 to run the first points race in
their class. The seven Super Pro cars entered on
May 2, will be the only cars entered in Points Race #1.
The balance to the season will resume with Points Race #2,
on May 16.
Darcy Madsen, of Rapid City, took home his first Pro win of
the season. Madsen, in his '69 Mustang, defeated Jason
Ehlers, of Pierre, in the final. Joe Harry, of Ferney,
was number one qualifier. Harry lost in the first
round, to Randy Nixon, of Huron.
The first Dakota Motor Sports LLC Bike win of the season
went to
Charles Snyder, of Belle Fourche. Snyder, aboard
his '82 Kawasaki, took out Chris Boom, of Pierre, running
only a tenth off his dial in. Boom was the number one
qualifier, riding his '01 Arctic Cat ZR to the finals.
A consistent Ann Hirsch, of Pierre, ran right on her
numbers all day, to take home top honors in the Sportsman
field. She ran three of five races within .004 seconds
of her dial in. Tyler Ehlers, of Pierre, fell victim
to Hirsch, in the final. Carl Morris, of Pierre, number one
qualifier, became one of Ehlers victims, in the semifinals.
Street Trophy came down to Joe McCarthy, of Newport, NE, and
Mark McCue, of Spearfish. McCarthy emerged the winner,
in his '94 Dodge Dakota. McCue, number one
qualifier, broke out in the final.
Snap On High School finals matched up Stephanie
Holm, of Pierre, and Taryn Colson, of Blunt.
Colson used a quicker reaction and a closer to dial
in run, to trailer, number one qualifying, Holm.
The 2010 season will see a split in the Junior
Dragster Class.
BankWest will sponsor the Major Class, reserved for
drivers aged 13-18. The Junior Dragster Minor
class will be limited to ages 8 to 12.
The first BankWest Junior Dragster Major class
winner will be recorded as James Morris, of Pierre.
The three-time Junior Dragster Champion, in '06, '07
and '08, defeated last years co-champion,
Bonnie Fuchs, of Bowman, ND. Tucker Driscoll,
of Watertown, lost to Morris, in round 1.
It was all Fort Pierre , in the first ever, Junior
Dragster Minor class final.
Schoolmates Kimberlee Geuther and Cody Ryckman faced
off, with Geuther taking the win. Both drivers
broke out, with Geuther running closer to her dial
in. Kimberlee's brother, Jonathan, fouled away
his number one qualifying spot in the first round,
against Ryckman.
The Coca Cola Points race resumes on May 16th, in
all eight of the Oahe Speedway Classes.

Dave Morgan
Morgan presented his seminar to a large class on Saturday
Monday, April 12, 2010
Dave Morgan, noted drag racing chassis set-up expert,
presented his seminar last Saturday, to nearly three dozen
racing enthusiasts. In Morgan's words , "I'm
here to help you improve your program. In fact, I'm
available to help Sportsman drag racers gain knowledge,
improve their win/run ratio and their cost/run ratio. For
nearly four decades, my focus has been aimed at helping drag
racers succeed at their passion." The class was
forewarned that the day would be long and full of tips and
pointers to help them improve their racing performance.
All indications are, from those attending, that the class
was very helpful. Applying that knowledge is the
next step.

2010 Track Improvements
Underway
Regrading of reserved pit
parking areas
Additional staging lane work
(Looking east up the hill.
from the waterbox)
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Work is underway in a couple
of areas at the track this
week. The reserved pit
parking area is being
regraded and additional
material is being added in
various areas to improve
drainage.
In addition, more staging
lanes are being added to the
south of the current
"upper" staging lanes.
When the project is
completed, there will be a
total of 8 lanes funneling
down the hill toward
the track. It is hoped
that the expanded lanes will
ease congestion in the
staging area behind the pit
grandstand.

new and exciting additions to the schedule:

Photo Gallery Updated
Wednesday,
January 20, 2010
We have updated our photo
viewer. The viewer we were using was no longer
supported by our web server. The new viewer,
powered by SmugMug, is easier to navigate and should load
much faster.
Unfortunately, in the transfer
of photos, we have lost the captions, and will attempt to
get those reentered as time goes on.
If you have any questions,
please let us know.
Check it out...just click on 2008 Photo Gallery in the left
hand column.
For a couple different viewing options, click on the Style
tab at the top of the page.
Reminder
2010 Site Rental
Renewal Date Approaching
January 14, 2010
Rental renewal letters have
been mailed to all current site holders. The current
renters
will have until January 31, 2010 to respond, thereafter, we
will start working on our waitlist, to fill all available
sites. The rental rate
has not changed for 2010.
Water, sewer and 30 amp service is available on those sites
located next to the fence. The rental rate for 2010
will
remain at $425.00 for the year. We do have 4-5 sites
located beyond the scoreboards that are open at this time.
If you would like to be put on the waiting list, please let
the speedway office know. We will finalize the list
after the first of February.
For those awaiting
the addition of power to the first grass row, we are working
on that project, and should have details available after the
first of the year. It is our intent to have at least ten
sites available for rent for the 2010 season. These
sites will have 20 amp service available and will
not
have water or sewer access. Since this area is located
in the pit grass area, we will not allow any long term
parking or any
vehicles parked on
the sites between racing weekends. This will be
enforced, in order to allow for mowing and watering of the
areas.
The yearly rental
rate has not been determined, and we have a list of
potential renters on file. If you would like to be
added to that list, please let the speedway office know.
